MORE TRUE LIFE

My grandfather who did not use many words once said to me :

" At the end of your life when you want to tell someone about your life IT MUST TAKE MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR".

The " More True Life " vintage montage greeting card is a symbolic creation of work representing our wish and desire for a true and meaningful life. Or since I can not speak for everyone let me say it represents my own personal wish for a true life. It is an ode to my grandfather's words.

It stands for our hope that the years that are given to us will not just pass in monotony until one day at the end of our life we sit on a bench, watching youth with regret and envy, thinking of what we should, would or could have done.

It is a reminder that we can do a lot. And that we have to make us happy. Not should.

Play soccer on the beach or anywhere

Be a friend to someone, enjoy time with friends, be curios, laugh and be happy, love someone and love yourself. Again and again.

The paper of our range is made out of 100% recycled old office paper mixed with the bark of alien invasive trees that are found in South- Africa.We are an eco-sustainable business and 90% of all material that we use for the finishing touches of our products consists of discarded and recycled items. In this blog I am sharing our new creations and the latest developments with you.

About Me

Hi my name is Isabella nick-named Chocolat. I live in a beautiful coastal town in South-Africa. I am a designer, street photographer, visual artist and writer. I write about what inspires me and the life around me. I like living in warm countries, drinking ice cold Chardonnay and eating seafood. It is useless and stupid to resist chocolate. If milky with almonds, if dark then with Chili or orange please. I like traveling, surfing, dancing, music, the sea, laughter and friendship. Intensity and passion is a must. The two people that I would like to meet if I could are Jesus and Ernest Hemingway.
